Man killed, another wounded at house party shooting in North Highlands

One man was killed and another was hurt in a shooting at a house party in North Highlands, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said.

Isaiah Bridgett, 22, was identified Monday as the man who was killed, the coroner's office said.

The shooting happened just before 3 a.m. Saturday in the 7000 block of Plumber Way.

Deputies said they were sent to the residence where the party was taking place after reports of gunfire were received. Investigators said about 200 to 300 people were at the party, while neighbors tell KCRA 3 News it may have been 100 to 200 young adults.

Deputies didn't find any victims when they arrived and received conflicting information. Specifically, investigators said those who attended the party told them the sound of gunshots was actually fireworks.

Two victims were dropped off at the hospital a short time later, investigators said.

One of them, identified as Bridgett, suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the hospital. The second victim, a 21-year-old man, had a gunshot wound to the arm. He is expected to survive.

"When we'd heard gunshots, people were, were rushing back into the house, ducking," said a neighbor who asked to remain anonymous. "We went to look for a place to hide in our house. We didn't know if bullets were going to start penetrating through our windows and siding."

Evidence of the shooting could be found in the man's car, which had two bullet holes. One was located above a door. The other was found on the roof of the car.

"We have one bullet penetrated through here and we have a ricochet right there off the top of the car," he said.

Another neighbor, who also asked to remain anonymous, said the party began around 1:00 a.m.

"At first, it was just a lot of music, lot of voices. In front, just a lot of kids walking around," she said.

Investigators believe several fights broke out before the shooting. There is no suspect description available.

A spokesman for sheriff's office said it's critical that people at the party come forward with information, especially if video of the party exists. Sgt. Tony Turnbull said it could help lead investigators to their suspect or suspects.

Multiple neighbors said they called 311 when the party started. They hoped sheriff's deputies would come out on a noise complaint to break up the party.

Sheriff's deputies did not respond, they said.

Turnbull said dispatchers prioritize calls based on their level of urgency. Additionally, crimes in progress will be prioritized over calls for noise or large parties.

No other details were released.
